from that traversed by Prince Krapot-
kline. The caravan took provisions
enough to last ten months, and the rate
of progress was very slow, owing to
the nature of the gznund and the num-
Der Of rivers and torrents it had to
cross on hastily constructed RATS. The
Tunguzcs and their families were in
dispensable for the collecting Of
the reindeer when the caravan was
about to make fresh start, as these
animals when scta liberty travel great
distances in search of the moss and
lichen upon which they feed. and fif-
teen horses which NJ. Martin had
brought with him died for want of
green food. In order to maintain dis

for having left them behind at one of

foolish to load our beasts with those

Handkerchicfs are obviously no
longer intended for use; at least those
that nowadays form so conspicuous .

are not. I saw some the other day
made of the most delicate shades of
surah silk and edged with the dainticst
lace imaginable. To allow such hand
kerchicfs as these to fall into the
clutches of the everyday laundrcss
would be the ruin Of them. There
were others of bright scarlet null. and
more unpretending ones # rose-cmbroi-
dercd and turquoise-hued batiste. A
new fashion is to have the monogram,
crest or initials embroidered in the
center of the handkerchief and not in
one corner as heretofore. OF course no
vulgar white thread is to be used for
this purpose. The design must be
worked in silk of the same color as the
handkerchief, or else of a contrasting
shade. Wash-silks are employed.

The growth of water works in this
country for the last five years is some
thing phenomenal. Up to the year
1880 the total number of water works
in cities and towns in the United States
was $50. From that time to the end of
1886 there were 623 new works built
and put in operation, being 81 in excess
of all built previously, and they are
being built this year faster than ever

CLARK UNIVERSITY.


 All the objections that have been made have not convinced MT. Jonas G. Clark of Worcester that new university is not need ed and that Worcester is not the place for it. Instead of being made to waver in his mind by these objections Mir. Clark seems to have been decidedly "braced up," for he has an- nounced that he is prepared on certain con- ditions to double his gift previously an- nounced, and that without conditions he will increase it by half million. The additional gift is in land for the site of the university, in books for the library and works of art for an art gallery. Of the original fund of one million dollars the corporation, accepting MT. Clark's suggestion, will devote three hun dred thousand dollars to a building fund, one hundred thousand dollars to the mainte- nance and increase of the library, and six hundred thousand for university endow- ment fund. Half million dollars more is promised for the endowment of three profes sorships, on condition that like sum for like purpose shall be given by others.
 MT. Clark is anxious to see his university under way, and he urges that the erection of buildings be pressed, in order that accom- nOOdLlOuS may Uo Ieauy 1OE tue AfSb StuueutS in October, 1888. Just what he wants the university to be has not yet been made pub lie, and perhaps he himself is not yet quite sure. But he said some things in his address to the corporators which are worth attention as indicating his ideas. For instance: In our own country we have institutions of learning of all ages, grades and objects, which will afford us much assistance, and from whose experience we can derive many hints and take many practical lessons. Among the Hopkins universities, which are evidently doing good work, and to the general scope, purpose and methods of which I would in- vite your special attention. Prussia has probably, as a whole, the best school and university system in practice at ceptible upon the growth and prosperity of the nation, and it is generally acknowledged to be one of the leading forces which have contributed to it's elevation from third-rate kingdom to 8 commanding and leading pow CT among the nations of the world. At some future time I desire to call your special at tention to her schools and universities and their methods.
 The people of Worcester naturally feel very grateful to MT. Clark for his noble plan to add to the attractiveness and importance of their city. His gift is indeed princely one, and it is to be hoped that it will accomplish what it is intended to.
